Well, it's finally done.  I nicknamed it "Patches", which you will notice from the pictures.  All-in-all, I think it came out okay.  As always, comments and critiques are welcome.















I finished the rifle with Chamber's Gun Oil, which I thought really worked well with the walnut.  I also used one of Acer's ramrod scrapers to make the ramrod.  (Turns out that making your own is a lot of work!)
